‘The Little Mermaid’ Trailer is launched, and Halle Bailey Proves She’s Perfect For This Role
The 22-year-old’s rendition was out of this world.
The first trailer for the live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” dropped, and people couldn’t stop feeling emotional with the preview. It included the first look of Halle Bailey as Ariel the mermaid and the underwater kingdom at the D23 Expo.
Shown at the D23 Expo, the trailer even included a snippet of Halle’s angeling voice singing “Part of Your World.”
It was still a work in progress, with the movie still set to release next year. No other characters were officially shown, except for Flounder’s shadow while swimming behind Ariel.
She was invited on stage to share her feeling about being part of the Disney family.
